Preparing for your cloud transition project
Solid planning helps remove implementation risks and significantly improves user adoption.
Inoapps can support you at this critical point in your project with:
- Technical Readiness Assessments. To review your existing deployments and environments and provide a solid technical starting point for the project.
- Business Readiness Assessments. To assess the project’s impact on the university and system users, and establish what can be changed now to minimize impact later in the process.
- Data quality review. To establish where you have inconsistent, disconnected or poor quality data.
- Roadmap preparation. To develop a roadmap that outlines the stages and timelines for your transition to the cloud, whether that’s over the next 12 months or 12 years.
- Project and Program Governance Design. Leveraging our extensive implementation experience to help design a governance structure that suits your culture while achieving the needs of the transformation program.
